Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an eaves snow melting device.

Roof snow forms icicles, snow eaves, and tufts on the eaves of the roof.
There is a risk of damage to people, building walls, windows, etc. if they fall.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 1, conventionally, in order to prevent icicles, snow eaves, and entrapment at the eaves l, a heating element is installed inside the flow channel 3 of the eaves gutter 2 arranged along the eaves l. A snow melting device installed at the eaves of the house is used.

However, in the conventional eaves snow melting device described in L, since the snow 5 enters the flow channel 3 of the eaves gutter 2, the heating element 4
After melting the snow 5 located directly above the heating element 4, it is wastefully dissipated into the atmosphere and melts the snow 5 located other than directly above the heating element 4. Difficult to melt.

The present invention effectively utilizes the heat dissipation energy of the heating element installed inside the eaves gutter, and eliminates icicles caused by roof snow, snow eaves, etc.
The purpose is to reliably prevent the occurrence of entrapment.

- In order to achieve the object described in item 2, the eaves snow melting device according to the present invention has a rain gutter in which a porous body is arranged in the upper part of a drainage channel is arranged along the eaves, and the eaves gutter generates heat inside the eaves gutter. It was designed so that the body could be installed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
It is a cross section 1Δ along the line ■-■ in the figure. In this embodiment, the eave gutter 12 is arranged along the eaves 11, and the eave gutter 1
A heating element 13 is provided extending in the longitudinal direction inside the housing 2. The heating element 13 is, for example, a heat pipe, and its evaporation part as a heat absorption part is connected to a heat source of O''C or higher such as underground, groundwater, domestic wastewater, etc.The heating element 13 is an electric heating element. It may be.

The eaves gutter 12 includes a support member 16 fixed to the outer wall surface 14 of the eaves 11 with nails 15, an attachment member 17 supported by the support member 16, and a gutter body 18 attached to the attachment member 17. It has become.

The gutter body 18 includes a gutter body 20 that forms a flow channel 19, and is wound around the gutter body 20, is provided on the outer surface of the gutter body 20, and covers the flow channel 19 of the gutter body 20. It is constituted by a net-like body 21 as a porous body, and band-like bodies 22 and 23 are wound around each of both end edges of the net-like body 21 in the winding direction with respect to the gutter body 20. In addition, the gutter body 1
8 is fixed to one end side of the attachment member 17 by a rivet 24, and is attached to the attachment member 1 by a rivet 25.
7 and the north protruding end of the support member 16. In addition to being fixed by the rivets 25, the supporting member 16 and the attachment member 17 are also fixed to each other by rivets 26, and the engaging portion 27 of the supporting member 16 and the engaging portion 28 of the attaching member 17 are fixed to each other by rivets 26. By engaging with the two, they can be mutually locked.

That is, the heating element 13 is installed inside the eaves gutter 12 in which the mesh body 21 is arranged above the flow channel 19.Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to No. 412. .

Due to the presence of the net-like body 21, the snow 29 does not enter the flow channel 19, and the snow 29 remains piled up on the first side of the net-like body 21.
The inside of the eaves gutter 12 is insulated from the atmosphere. Therefore, heating element 1
The heat radiated from 3 moves inside the eaves gutter 12 toward the entire surface of the net-like body 21, and the snow 29 accumulated on the upper surface of the net-like body 21 is transferred to the lower surface side of the net-like body 21 without being radiated into the atmosphere. It gradually melts. The resulting snowmelt water is discharged through a downspout (not shown) to a drainage pipe, side gutter, or the like.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the heat radiated from the heating element 13 is effectively used for melting snow without being radiated into the atmosphere, and the relatively small amount of thermal energy can be used to melt icicles, eaves, and snow from roof snow. This makes it possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of

In addition, in the two-legged embodiment, since the snow 29 does not enter the eaves gutter 12, when removing snow from the roof,
Even when roof snow exceeding a predetermined snow melting stitch by the heating element 13 slides down, the snow 29 from the grass will not slide down the upper surface of the net-like body 21 and damage the eaves gutter 12.

Note that the eave gutter 12 has a mesh body 21 around the gutter body 20.
I explained about the case where it is formed by winding. However, the eaves gutter to which the present invention is applied may be one in which a porous body is substantially disposed in a part of the flow channel, and the lower wall of the cylindrical body is used as the flow channel. Other structures may be used, such as one in which a large number of rainwater inflow holes are provided in the side wall of a shaped body.

Here it is! -The eaves snow melting device according to the present invention is as follows.

A porous body is placed above a waterway along the eaves, which is a gutter, and a heating element is placed inside the eaves gutter. Therefore, by effectively utilizing the radiation energy of the heating element installed inside the eaves gutter, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of icicles, snow eaves, and entrapment caused by roof snow with a relatively small amount of thermal energy. .
